Pandas! ~ Toddler Storytime

For the fifth meeting of our spring session we read books about PANDAS! We read about a Panda who was busy baking donuts AND a Panda who went on his first play date. Here are the books, rhymes, fingerplays, flannel boards, action songs and video we shared.

BOOKS WE SHARED

In Michael Dahl’s Playdate for Panda, Panda goes over to Fox’s house for his first play date. Panda is a bit shy and doesn’t know what to expect but as soon as Fox opens the door it’s nothing but fun and excitement. Fortunately, Panda forgets all about his fears and has a great time!!!

In I’ll Wait Mr. Panda by Steven Antony, a penguin patiently waits while Mr. Panda bakes something delicious. Many other animals come by wanting to know what Mr. Panda is making, but when he asks them to wait and see…they just don’t have the patience. Meanwhile, a tiny penguin keeps saying that he’ll wait. When that little penguin finally loses patience and yells: “I’LL WAIT MR. PANDA!”, he is rewarded with the most delectable donut! A funny tale that teaches patience and has the element of anticipation and surprise!
